Sqlite: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is in GMT, not the timezone of the machine

Question

\"timestamp\" DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

The server that this database live

Answer 1

You can also just convert the time column to a timestamp by using strftime():

SELECT strftime('%s', timestamp) as timestamp FROM ... ;

Gives you:

1454521888

'timestamp' table column can be a text field even, using the current_timestamp as DEFAULT.

Without strftime:

SELECT timestamp FROM ... ;

Gives you:

2016-02-03 17:51:28
